The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
5.0

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This is a beautiful and atmospheric story following the tale of two magicians in a night circus, competing in a non-conflict battle of skill. 

This is one of my all time favourite reads that has become a comfort book for me having now re-read on multiple occasions and finding myself whisked away to the night circus.

I love the multiple POVs, the mystique which flows through the book and the entwined romance and challenge throughout.  It is beautifully written and has a playful writing style with 1st person snippets to really immerse yourself into the story. 

Setting the bar for all  magic orientated books I look to read in future and my go-to on book recommendations.
